SATURDAY MARCH 5^th

BANGOR 9 - 43 NEWTOWN

Bangor let the visitors run in 3 late tries to make the score look one sided but they were only 6 - 14 down at the interval. The pack led by player-coach Aled Hughes put in a sterling performance and set panic in the visitors ranks at times. They created several good scoring chances but the inability to get the ball to the line showed again. All Bangor's points came from the boot of Jonni Hughes.

SATURDAY FEBRUARY 19th

MACHYNLLETH 26 - 0 BANGOR

DIVISION 2N

In a hard fought match Bangor conceded 3 early penalties for the hosts to lead 9-0 after fifteen minutes and it was the visitor's constant infringements that were keeping Machynlleth going forward. When a Bangor player was yellow carded the home side scored their first try to lead 14-0 at the interval.

Two further yellows saw Bangor play with 13 men at one stage and the home side added two more tries to earn themselves some valuable league points. The city lads never gave up and tackled their hearts out throughout and with a bit more luck could have contributed to the scoreboard. They certainly never gave up.There are tougher games ahead with Newtown at Cae Milltir being the next match on the 5th March.

The club will be showing the Wales v Italy match on the Big Screen next Saturday -kick-off 2.30pm. Everyone welcome. Refreshments will be available.

TUESDAY FEBRUARY 15^th

BANGOR 24 - 5 HOLYHEAD

Bangor put some new talent on display and although Holyhead made it tough for them, the new found speed in the backs and drive in the pack gave them a good win. Holyhead opened the scoring with an unconverted try. Bangor were plagued by penalties in the early stages but managed to get two converted tries in the first half thanks to the determined running inn the three quarters. In the second half they scored again through the pack picking and driving their way over the line. A fourth try followed with more fine running in the backs. At the end they seemed to have scored a push over try from a scrummage but it was disallowed for a knock on as they dropped on the ball.

SATURDAY FEBRUARY 5^th

BANGOR 11 - 17 WREXHAM

 It was good to see Sean Williams return from college to play at scrum half and pair up with Darren Brace at outside half. More commitment was shown by Jonni Hughes travelling from Uni in Cardiff to play in the centre. Bangor had some weight in the pack with Tony Williams returning to the front row to go with Wil Withey and youth player Karl Roberts. With Gruff Tudor and Gareth Roberts adding their weight Bangor had expectations of doing well.

The game was played in atrocious conditions that got worse as the game progressed. Bangor played the first half into the wind and rain. Starting in a positive mood they came close to scoring a try soon after the kick off but were denied by a knock on. When they tried spinning it wide soon after, Wrexham centre Jack Radcliff took a simple interception and ground the ball under the post for Roger Chadwick to convert. With little to choose between the teams Bangor managed to strike back with a Jonni Hughes penalty. Bangor would have been happy with this score line at half time but true to form they gave away a try with the last move of the half when Wrexham had a tap penalty and fed Ian Sanger  to cross for another converted try.

The wind direction shifted to across the field during the break. Bangor played most of the half in the Wrexham 22 m area and  had several penalties awarded in their favour.  Hughes hit the upright with the first, potted the second and narrowly missed the uprights with the next two. Bangor's coach Aled Hughes donned a shirt to join son Jonni for the last 10 minutes of the game, a day they will both always remember. With long periods rucking on the try line Bangor really should have scored several times and eventually forward Huw Williams took a pass from a tap penalty and crossed the line for an unconverted try. The conversion just went wide and Wrexham made the game safe with a Chadwick penalty under the posts at the end of the game.

SATURDAY JANUARY 15^th

BANGOR 13 - 16 WELSHPOOL

This was a must win game for Bangor but everything went wrong once again as they lost the lead and the game with the final kick.

Playing into the wind and rain in the first half Bangor did well to finish the half level through a Jonni Hughes penalty cancelled out by one from the visitors.

With the wind behind them all Bangor had to do was play as well as in the first half and they soon scored two tries through forwards Gruff Tudur and Gareth Roberts in the wet and muddy conditions. Hughes and Roberts both left the field with injuries and without a strong kicker Bangor missed two kickable penalties. A loss of discipline saw a barrage of penalties against the home team frequently progressed 10 meters by the referee for back chat and this enabled Welshpool to work their way to the Bangor line against the wind. They scored a try from a pushover scrum and then drew level with another try. Bangor's cruel luck saw them hit the upright with a penalty and then the visitors took the match with a penalty under the posts being the last kick of the game.

SATURDAY JANUARY 8^th

BANGOR 9 - 29 DOLGELLAU

Its nearly a month since the last game and this one was switched to Bangor who fielded a strong squad. Bangor dominated the first half and created many good scoring chances but were rewarded only with two penalties from Jonni Hughes. The visitors made very few visits to the Bangor half of the field and still managed to wrestle their way over for a try but Bangor led 6 - 5 at half time.

The second half saw Bangor take the offensive again and increased their lead with an early Hughes penalty. After that the game was turned on its head. Suddenly Bangor started failing to find touch and Dolgellau started to catch the ball and Bangor imploded letting in 4 more tries and two conversions.

SATURDAY NOVEMBER 20th

BANGOR 16 - 37 MACHYNLLETH

This was a desperately disappointing result for Bangor who fielded a team that on paper should have won but maybe the uncontested scrums worked against them. Bangor were faced with a barrage of penalties and scrums against them and Machynlleth made best use of the ball with their back line taking advantage of some slack tackling to score 5 tries. Bangor started well with a try from flanker Dave Oxley but that was as good as it got. Going into the break 8 - 17 down there was always hope for the home team but the visitors soon dispelled that with another try and added two in quick succession. Bangor did create plenty of scoring opportunities but seem to lack the confidence to finish them off. Towards the end Gareth Roberts  got a consolation try wrestling his way to the line. Outside half Dafydd Roberts had earlier contributed two penalties.

BANGOR 2nds 15 - 14 DOLGELLAU 2nds

VIDEO

Bangor dominated the early stages scoring a quick try from winger Rhodri Llewellyn Williams but despite creating many good scoring positions when they should have put the game beyond doubt, they lacked the finishing touch and ended the first half with a lead of only 5 points.

Dolgellau had more ball and dogged resistance meant they were always in the game but Bangor eventually got a second try with a bout of accurate passing putting winger Thibault Lloyd over for a try converted by Dafydd Roberts. The visitors came back hard and were rewarded with their first score, a converted try. A penalty from Roberts restored the lead to 8 points which turned out to be vital when Dolgellau scored another converted try near the end to get within a single point.

SATURDAY OCTOBER 16^th

Bangor were able to field a stronger team this week and provide the league leaders with a competitive game that gives them hope of better things to come. Denbigh ran in 4 tries in the first half and led 22 - 0 at the break but Bangor came out fighting in the second half with the slope and breeze in their favour and took the game to the home side resulting in a try from centre Nick O'Keefe converted by Jonni Hughes. Denbigh caught Bangor asleep and replied with another try but Bangor continued to press and came close to scoring a few times before they were rewarded with try from winger Hugh Llewelyn-Jones and Hugh's touchline conversion reduced the deficit to 29 - 14. With a bit more luck and better finishing Bangor might have produced a surprise result especially when a move that should have seen them cross the line saw them turned over and the home team broke away for a try that knocked the wind out of their sails. Running out of steam they leaked another tries at the end to give Denbigh a slightly flattering score line.

The half time score was 20 - 3 with a penalty from Nick O'Keefe but the boys ran out of steam in the second half and leaked 6 more tries with just another penalty in reply. Gruff Tudur was outstanding in the pack but needed more support.

SATURDAY  SEPT 18^th

WREXHAM 29 – BANGOR 3

WRU DIVISION 2 N

Wrexham found Bangor a hard nut to crack despite what the score line suggests. A late first half converted try put the hosts ahead 7-3 at the interval & Bangor were still right in there with a shout. It wasn't to be however with the home side adding 4 more tries (one converted) in the second period but the Bangor youngsters never gave in and had to tackle like demons right 'till the end . The weather was absolutely atrocious throughout & with better luck the city boys could have added to their tally because their efforts were faultless .Their sole points were scored by outside half Dafydd Llewelyn.

Bangor made a game of it in the first half thanks to some good tackling in the backs and tight play by the forwards. The score was limited 10 points with a penalty and converted try against them. The second half saw them start well enough but in a golden spell when everything went right for the visitors and aided by a barrage of penalties, they showed great form running in 5 tries. Bangor were clearly tiring in the later stages but never gave up.

Scorers for Llanidloes were:

Adam price - penalty

James Plumridge - Try

James Davies - 2 Tries

James Griffiths - try and 4 conversions

Paul Jehu - Try

Ben Davies - try
